Why I make Adapted Books for my Literacy Area

I use adapted Fairy Tale books in my classroom so my visual learners can access and understand the story in a simplified way. Each page of the story Ive added detachable visuals so young learners interact with their Fairy-tale favourites. The main objective of this lesson is to identify what’s on the page and to comment on what they see.

Sequencing Story Board

This board will help kids learn the sequence of the story with the detachable visuals

Story Words for Vocabulary practice

Vocabulary Keyrings are a handy way of teaching story words!

I have bundled 5 of my Fairy-tale Interactive Books, each one designed to involve students in learning about popular story characters and story sequences. For my Visual Students I’ve added a comprehensive interactive book, a ring of pictures for vocabulary and 2 sequencing boards.

The Standards targeted in these activities are:-

CCSSSL.K.5 Add drawings or other visual displays to descriptions as desired to provide additional detail.

CCSSSL.K.4 Describe familiar people, places, things, and events and, with prompting and support, provide additional detail.

CCSSSL.K.2 Confirm understanding of a text read aloud or information presented orally or through other media by asking and answering questions about key details and requesting clarification if something is not understood.

CCSSRL.1.9 Compare and contrast the adventures and experiences of characters in stories.

CCSSRL.1.5 Explain major differences between books that tell stories and books that give information, drawing on a wide reading of a range of text types.

CCSSRL.1.3 Describe characters, settings, and major events in a story, using key details.

CCSSRL.1.2 Retell stories, including key details, and demonstrate understanding of their central message or lesson.

CCSSRL.1.1 Ask and answer questions about key details in a text.

Back to School – All About me

A resource to help you get to know new students and for them to practice
sharing information about themselves.

These simple All about me passport pages are perfect for kids in pre-k, kindergarten and Special Education, I use these with my new students yearly and are a great way to start my morning lesson, especially now that I’ve popped them in a binder to use over and over again!

This interactive resource allows my kids with limited reading and writing skills use the visuals to share a few important things about themselves.  

I love getting to know my new kids and this activity binder make it quick and easy to find out their likes and dislikes and assess the visual learners basic skills!

I’ve adapt this activity for kids into 2 different levels of learning, one with pictures and the other with just the word. Included in these pages are:-

Name space (students can practice their name )
My gender is
My hair colour is
My eye colour is
My favorite colour
My favorite pet
My favorite toy
My favorite food
My favorite drink
My favorite snack
I know my shapes
I know my colours
I know my numbers
This is me (where your student can draw himself)
